ng her parents, Mr. and fs. R. B

terday.
The question of sewerage is being ag-
tated. A good system is needed, but it
loes not look as though the financial
pondition would justify it just now.
Jackson Engine Company give their
krand masquerade ball to-night. Our
citizens may well feel an honest pride in
(the old company and will no doubt do
Itheir duty by patronizing the boys
hberHr.
Thjb company, has decided to land its
boat at the foot of Court street if the
same is practicable. . This will avoid the
miserable and dangerous , incline, and
will prove a great convenience.
We understand that members of the
dramatic club, and others are rehearsing
for Pinafore which will be put on during
the winter. Another rehearsal will be
had Saturday night. There will be fortv
persons in the play.
work; on tne reservoir is progressing
rapidly and It will be finished inside of
four months. The city engineer is giv
ing the work his closest attention, and
when the work is completed it will be
done in the very best manner.
A good many persons got left this
morning on account of the passenger
train arriving here earlier than was ex
pected. A transfer was made around
the slide and no word was recieved here
until after 12 o'clock, and as they had
been told that the trains would not be

Mrs. Heppner returned from Chey
enne, accompanied by her brother this

The agents and operators on the Chic

. But few people are aware that to send
a remittance to a lottery company is a
misdemeanor, and that the person so
sending is liable to a fine of $200 or a
years imprisonment,' or both. Such,
however, is declared to'be the case, and
postmasters are required to report all
such letters.
The street commissioner is finishing
up work on Ninth street from Union to
Pentland, and the citizens are many of
fhem getting rock from the cuts made to
fill and improve the streets adjoining
their property. These improvements
are badly needed, and will add largely
to property values as well as making
their property approachable.
The East Oregonian says there is a
rumor in circulation at Pendleton, that
Squally Hook will be made the end of a
-division. This would necessarily take
it away from here. It may be possible
thiswill.be done, as Gould seems de
terWd to get as long runs and much
out of his employes as possible.
We can whisper one piece of advice in
his cunning little pink ear, and that is
not to monkey with the trainmen. If
they want to make the run from Port
land to Squally Hook the change can be
made, if they do not the little wizard
had better take a dose of his own oil be
fore he tries to make them do so.
A heavy white frost was on the ground

bonds to-day for surveying sevaral town
ships in the Cascade range. ".
A number of our citizens are talking of
having Eighth street opened, from Union
to Garrison, a distance of four blocks. It
would not be a very expensive job and
would prove a great convenience to
properly owners.
When Joe Simmon's election was an
nounced it is said he reached in his breast
pocket and drawing therefrom a manu
script, he proceeded to read the names
of the standing committees. Joe goes
loaded, all the time.
Concerning: the Boat Line.
The people of The Dalles and vicinity
are incorporating a company to put
boats on the Columbia river between
The Dalles and Portland, in order that
all kinds of freight may be transported
much cheaper than it now is.
Therefore the farmers and producers
of all the tributary country to Dalles
city, are earnestly requested to assist in
this matter, by subscribing as stock to
this company, a sum at least to amount
to as much as one half of the present
rate of freiarht on the probable amount
of wheat, wool, etc., that they will pro-
duce next summer. Or from $25 to $200.
Said shares to be paid (or so much
thereof as may be necessary) when said
produce is delivered in Dalles city, or
say as soon as the first of October, 1891.
And in order that all may know
just what they are doing, let the
people who subscribe stock in this
company require the man who has
the stock book, to hold said books until
every man who has subscribed, has seen
the by-laws of said corporation, and are
satisfied that they are all right and just.
For as soon as one-half or more is sub
scribed, a meeting of the stock holders
will be called and published, that all
may know and assist in adopting the
articles of incorporations. . , Nemo.

The recent! death in Canada of Mrs.
Sterling, root&erof Charles M. Sterling,
who was execrated at Yonngstown, O.
for the murder of Lizzie Grombaeher,
has unveiled tbe facts concerning an in
cident that occurred shortly before hia
execution. His-mother came from Max
well, Can., and though he had left home
when but a ladi with . maternal intuition
she recognized- him. When brought to
hia cell Sterling without the quiver of a
muscle said:
"You are mistaken, madam; I am not
yoor son.
She implored him to recognize her, bat
he refused, and; she returned home half
convinced that she was mistaken. To
his counsel Sterling said:
She is my mother, but I could not
break her heart by telling her that her
son would bearing. Keep it secret until
she dies." .
Her death caused his attorney, W. S.
Anderson, to break the seal of ilTK. -
"It was the mosfcdramatio scene 1 ever
witnessed," said Mr. Anderson. "I have
seen all the tragedians of the past quar
ter of a century, bat none that compared
to the scene on that occasion. . The
mother, every line in her face showing
the most intense suffering, and her heart
nearly broken, while the son, knowing
that the truth would kill her, stood like
a statue, his face showing the pallor of
death, assuring her that she was mis
taken. Such intensity of action was
never produced on any stage. It could
not be. "Cincinnati Enquirer.

From Slavery to Affluence.
The will of the late Roswell J. Jeffries
has been admitted to probate by Surro
gate Adlington. The deceased was a
slave before the war. and often related
in the prayer meetings which he attend
ed some of his experiences and the inci
dents of his conversion to Christianity in
bis early life. Upon obtaining his free-,
dom he came to this city and bought a
small farm upon what was then the out
skirts of the city, and which has since
been built up into the fine residence sec
tion now bounded by Park avenue.
Brighton avenue, . Meigs and Bowler
streets. Although real estate speculators
reaped some of the benefit of the - tre
mendous increase in the value of this
property, Mr. Jeffries was at his death a
rich man. He lived to the advanced age
of 90 years. His wife and four children
survive him. The exact value of his es
tate is not known, bat it ia certainly
over $60,000. Rochester Poet-Express.

Passing throngs gazed curiously at a
strange plant that sprang up in the win
dows of the Chinese laundries. People
without poetry in their souls darkly
hinted that the almond eyed Mongolians
were raising onions. The emperor's
subjects were innocent of the base
charge. The essence of human emo
tions was clustered in the white and
yellow petals of the flower.
The plant is called a Chinese hry, and
Chinamen at this season of the year im
port it from their native land. They
place it m a vessel filled with pebbles
and water and the flower is in full bloom
till Christmas, when it imparts a beauti-'
ml odor that fills a room with perfume.
The grateful foreigners have presented
their friends in this city with pretty
specimens as a token of their gratitude
for kindness shown them. Pittsburg

The German postoffice officials have
been experimenting with the North -sea
cable, seventy-five kilometers long, be
tween Halrgoland and Coxhaven, to test
the possibility at using submarine cables
of cowsfaWable length for telephonia
purposes. The results have been very
favorable, distinct communication hav
ing been obtained at both ends.
Some interesting experiments have
recently been made in Denmesk ia fell
ing trees with gaa cotton. For felling
a tree twenty-five inches in girth it took,
two men only a quarter . of an hotxr.to
make the preparations, the rme f oUowed
being to make one bore hole for each
foot of eircumf erenoe. '
A pleasant core for hoarseness is to
bake-a lemon for fifteen minutes in a
slow oven, cat off one end and remove
the pulp, and sweeten to taste. This
simple medicine will often take away
the tightness in the chest which so often
accompanies a severe cold.
A French doctor has recently been col
lecting statistics with regard to those of
his patients who complain of nervous
affections, with the. result that he has
come to the conclusion that the prime
cause of all the evil is the practice of
reading in the train. -
